UTILE GIRL, SAVED,

Hospital Chief Takes Child Rescued From Starvation—Town Paid for Surgeon.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—The town of Pine Bluff, Ark., adopted a four-yc-ar-old little girl about a year ago, saved her life through a remarkable surgical operation, and now is about to lose her. The girl is leaving a home of comparative poverty and is comins to Chicago as the adopted daughter of i.lr. and Mrs. Asa R. Bacon. Mr. Bacon is superintendent of the Presbyterian hospital, which has been the child's home for six months.

When she was just three she dragged a can of concentrated lye from her mother's pantry shelf, and, believing it to be sugar, swallowed a handful before her mother could stop her. She was rushed off to a hospital, and her life was despaired of. It was found that the powerful alkaloid had burned and strictured her esophagus until it had closed. Luckily, her throat was uninjured, and she still retained the power of speech.

Grace could neither eat nor drink. She was slowly starving to death. Then, in a last extremity, a doctor inserted a silver tube in her stomach and for months the girl was kept alive by giving her nourishment through the tube. But it was seen that unless something was done quickly she would die. Her only hope was to have her esophagus restored. Her parents were too poor to j$aploy specialists and Pine Bluff adopted Grace.

Charitable organizations, with the aid of the newspapers, raised $500, and Dr. Bertram W. Sippy, of Chicago, agreed, to sec what he could do.

Accordingly last spring little Grace was

pital. Dr. Sippy found it the tightest structure of the esophagus that ever bad come to his attention. He found the area so constricted a tortuous channel, almost corkscrew in shape, and so small that only a drop or two of water could trickle through wa:« all that was left. At first he despaired of getting even a., silken thread through the opening. Days of persistent work on his part, however, and patient assistance on the part of the child rewarded his efforts. Dr. R. C. Brown aided in the treatment, and for daj-3 sv£Rial nurses remained at Grace's bed ^e to encv 'rage her.

Oiv the threat "^uttonhole twist— was ax. V~d, a pv, wire with an eyelet ncfv^ger than pin head was passed dowlh the channel with the thread, running through the eyelet, as a guide.

Begin Dilation Treatment. Small steel bulbs, olive shaped and no bigger than the heads of small mourning pins, were passed down the wire. These bulbs gradually were Increased in size, and at the end of two months the little girl Was able for the first time in nearly two years to swallow a little milk. Then one day Grace was given some solid food and she swallowed it. The tube was removed from the child's stomach and from that time on she grew in weight. At last bulbs the size of an olive were passed through the esophagus and the doctors pronounced it normal again. "It was the tightest case of stricture of the esophagus that ever came to the attention of the medical world, we believe," said Dr. Brown. "But a great deal of credit should be given this remarkable little girl, it was largely through her bravery and cheerfulness in aiding us that she was restored to health She would turn this way and that a we told her and would say the funni things. She is the most intelligent child I ever saw. When she came to the hospital she was a mere shadow. Now she is as healthy as the average child."

Time came for Grace to leave the hospital. The fund had been exhausted. A physician from Pine Bluff who was in Chicago volunteered to take her home. He was instructed in the dilation treatment and was to pursue it

there. Mr. and Mrs. Bacon had become so attached to her, however, that they wrote her parents asking permission to adopt her, and finally received Mrs. Iliff's consent.

PAY BOYS' CLUB DEBTS.

The fund realized for the Boys' club by the recent charity ball will be devoted largely to the payment of the old debts of the organization, it was announceLTuesday by Ben Blumberg. At least a part of each of the outstanding obligations will be taken care of, and he suggested that anyone having claims against the club notify him. The ball realized $277.

SETTING FORTH A WORKING GIRL 'S VIEWS ON MATRIMON1

NE afternoon when there was not much to do in the office, Peggy and Miss Clarke, her father's stenographer, fell into a discussion of some of the young men of their acquaintance. Miss Clarke, it seemed, had been en-

abled through an experience of three or four years in the business world to make a number of observations and to reach some shrewd conclusions. "Do vou think you'd like to be married?" "Peggy asked frankly. "That depends," Miss Clarke replied. "If it had to be to one of the average kind you see about town, maybe I'd say no. "It's getting so that the boys think of nothing but looking flashy and having a good time. And the more they put on their backs for looks, the less thev put in their heads for keeps."

can't be sure he means anything serious. More than likely he just wants a good time for a while, with some spooning on the side, to last until some one else catches his fancy. "And the worst part of it is," mournfully, "that the kind of men you like to be seen with, the nice-looking, dreBsy kind are just the ones who don't mean anything. They spend everything as they go along, and how could they get married, even if they wanted to?" "'I suppose they all do get married in time," suggested Peggy. "Yes—in time," Miss Clarke replied. "But not in my time. They wait for the next crop of girls to grow up from short skirts, and where does that leave girls like me? If we wait as long as the men do, we're likely to turn yellow. "I've about decided that if I want a husband, I've got to be satisfied with

Peggy remembered Miss Clarke's apparent interest in a young man emDloyed in the same office. And with Miss Clarke's philosophy in her ears, she determined that she would try no more coquetry in that quarter, (Codtl nued.)

for reparation formulated in the Fran-co-British notes. So far as Russia is concerned, a state of war with Turkey actually exists and the reply of the Russian foreign minister to the explanation of the grand vizier does not hold out, in the opinion of London, any hope for, a peaceful outcome of the dispute.

The tumult of battle has rolled back from the Belgian coast, and after the apparent failure of their fierce assault,on the English and Belgian lines around Ypres, the Germans evidently are diverting their atta.ck toward a more southerly point. Much activity on the part of German mobile columns is reported from Belgium, and there is evidence that the Invaders have not yet exhausted all the resources whicn are being brought to bear in the campaign to cut their ^ay through to Calais. The tremendous German assault at Ypres is believed by London observers to have been repulsed decisively. But this has been at terrible cost to the flower of the British army which apparently has suffered as severely as did the Belgian forces which bore the first brunt of the sea coast battle.

Reports Contradictory.

Concerning the situation along the river Aisne the reports from Berlin and from Paris are sharply contradictory. The Germans declare they have made distinct progress while the French assert that all the violent German assaults have failed completely.

In the eastern arena the Russian right wing which rests on the frontier of East Purssia evidently ha» been opposing determined attacks by the Germans. An army of Austrians hundreds of miles away still threatens the Russian wing. Reports of the fall of Przemysl are declared by Petrograd to be premature and due to the capture

To Have Pretty Hair

If your hair is not as soft, and pretty, or as fresh and full as that of some friend, do as she does—give it daily attention, just the same care you would give a plant to make it healthy and beautiful. Luxuriant hair—soft, fluffy, thick and lustrous—is really a matter of care. Tf it is too thin, make it grow. If it is too dry and brittle, soften it up—lubricate it. If you have dandruff it is because the scalp is too dry and flakes off. Freshen ua the scalp and the dandruff disappears.

Parisian Sage, an inexpensive tonic, which you can get from any drug or toilet counter, or from Baur's Pharmacy. is just what you need—it softens the scalp, nourishes the hair roots, immediately removes dandruff, and makes the hair fluffy, lustrous and abundant. One application will stop
